Royalists are calling for Queen Elizabeth II to remove the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s titles following Meghan Markle‘s recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
In her first sit-down interview since the controversial discussion with Oprah Winfrey back in March, Meghan emphasized the importance of paid family leave.
She expressed her commitment to advocating for mandatory paid leave for employees, highlighting the lack of such a program in the United States compared to other wealthy nations.
During her conversation with Ellen DeGeneres, Meghan reiterated her stance on the necessity of paid family leave, a topic included in President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better bill.
However, the proposal faces opposition from Republicans and some Democratic figures.
Meghan pointed out the stark contrast between the U.S. and other countries, noting that being together as a family during the early stages of parenthood is crucial, a luxury not afforded to many Americans due to the absence of federal paid leave.
Australian TV host Karl Stefanovic shared his evolving perspective on Meghan Markle, acknowledging a newfound appreciation for her.
Despite initial reservations, Stefanovic remarked positively on Meghan’s demeanor during the interview, suggesting a shift in public opinion towards the Duchess.
However, not all responses were as supportive, with critics taking to social media to condemn Meghan’s conduct and call for her royal title to be revoked.
Despite the backlash, many praised Meghan for her charitable contributions and composure during the Ellen interview.
Royal journalist Emily Andrews commended Meghan’s focus on philanthropy and shining a light on ordinary individuals.
Meghan disclosed her and Prince Harry‘s donations to various causes, including £15,000 to A Twist of Greatness, a charity supporting hair braiding, and additional contributions to a Tibetan charity.
The couple’s generosity was well-received by supporters and observers alike.
Former Olympian and reality star Caitlyn Jenner lauded Meghan’s authenticity and resilience in the face of intense media scrutiny.
Jenner empathized with Meghan’s challenging transition from anonymity to constant public attention, emphasizing the pressures of royal life and tabloid coverage.
Meanwhile, Noel Phillips, GMB’s North America correspondent, highlighted the positive reception to Meghan’s interview, noting a perceived shift in public perception towards a more relatable and lighthearted portrayal of the Duchess.
Amid ongoing debates about Meghan’s public image and royal status, the Duchess continues to navigate the complexities of her role in the public eye.
Her recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show has sparked discussions on the intersection of celebrity, philanthropy, and royal responsibilities.
As Meghan strives to advocate for social causes and engage with diverse audiences, her actions and statements remain under scrutiny, reflecting broader conversations about the modern monarchy and the expectations placed on its members.
